Adventures on our trip. What not to do on a vacation with small kids.

Tweet

This vacation was wonderful for all of us, but it taught us (the adults) many things about what NOT to do The first thing we did upon arriving was to go to a supermarket. We did the super exactly the way it shouldn´t be done. I placed in the cart a lot of food I thought the children would love and Claudia thought that they were all for me. We did not ask the other if the kids loved or hated this or that. When we reached home, Vicente said that he hated cheddar cheese and Claudia told me that none of them ate mayo (that was false, but she did not explain the exceptions). As it turned out, we bought some food that we did not eat during the 2 weeks and we had to buy some food at the mini market later at a bigger price. That wasn´t the only problem though. We should have made a list and I should have gone alone while Claudia stayed at the swimming pool with the children. The kids were bored after another plane ride and at St. Maarten taxis charge for every passenger. Thus, is we took our family anywhere, it was 4 times as if I went alone. So, after two more days and when we were friends with the mother of Sofía´s friend, we discovered that the way to do it was to rent a car.
